You will hear all caughts of you and all other players: "whohoo". After 60 minutes you hear the bip-sound again. The game is over. Press ALT+TAB to come back to the chat. Then one of us must exit the chat and open the chatlogs-folder at the RWFF-folder, find the chatlog of today and caluculate who caught the most inches.

Hi Peter
I will try to be there I have not had much luck finding any one online with my weird sechdule buyt that is finished no and I hopre to do more fishing online with others. I think this chat can lead to some fun challanges. Sorry about the picture being centered I haven't figured out how to move it over.
If you are wondering the hat is a real Bobcat pelt I'm also a mountain reanactor and that is why the user name of Bobcat John the shootong of muzzle loading rifles and shotguns is my other hobby beside fly fishing and fly tying.

I've spent the most important time of my life fishing. What was left over I wasted.

We had a wonderful hour of fishing and chatting. There were a couple technical difficulties, but over all, I think everyone had a great time.

We had Cutch try and catch a couple fish to test things out and he just took off fishing! He showed up at the end though with some nice catches. Taupo and Massimo were catching fish left and right. Once we figure who won, here's a batch of Dechutes Flies (freshly tied) for the winner:

All these fly patterns originated for use on the Dechutes River. Ferry and Mack's Canyon are named after fishing holes on the Dechutes. The Freight Train, Coal Car and Signal Light are named in honor of the railroad that runs up the Dechutes river and the Dechutes Madness kinda says it all.

Don't feel bad at all! It was priceless . I told them all after you took off that when you tell an Oregonian to go fishin - he goes fisihin! We were all thoroughly entertained by it all. We tried several ways off calling you back and every few minutes we'd hear a "Wahoo!" and your catch would show up on the screen. I was ROFLMAO! Check your "chat log" to see the conversation that was going on. It was hilarious!

The real-time contest was hugely successful in my opinion. Some folks had technical difficulties, but Peter is on the case working out solutions. The more we play, the more we learn and like everything else around here, it just keeps getting better and better.

it works fine so far. We were fishing with 3 guys at the beautiful Burns River.

2 fishes were not registered, but this is problem of RWFF self. They could not found in the score_log too.
But I think, with such small bugs we can live.

Perhaps we should think about a online league in addition to our traditional weekly contests.

@all: It would be nice to meet more people to an online match. At sunday we were seven guys. Not bad, but it could be more. Please don't be afraid, using the tool is very, very easy and it's funny to talk and fish together. Yes, we have the worldtime-problem, but this we can't fix. As guideline we could take routine sunday 22 o'clock (Germany). Please come and look the wonderful club-community-feeling live.

Glad to hear that the test of the new version went well. I still need for someone to step forward and claim the prize, though. Was it Taupo or Massimo, or Cutch? Those flies want to be in the hands of a master fisherman! If they stay at my house they will get will eventually get wet .
